One commenter answered with the following...
"There is no limitation. You owe what you owe."
That is absolutely true. Being the responsible person that I am, I take things very seriously and provide for the inevitable accident by having appropriate insurance to cover most everything.
I have, since asking the question, found out that it is usually 4 years from the date of the accident or loss. The main question was not worded well and it was to find out how long an insurance company could take before they ran out of time to get the issue closed or taken to court.
The issue involved a person who was actually insured, but his policy did not cover the accident in question leaving him vulnerable and responsible for paying out of pocket for the loss to the subrogation unit of the insurance company of the other party.
What else can I help you with?

What florida statute regards reimbursment to health insurance from uninsured motorist claim?
Don't know the statute but it is probably under common sense. If your health insurance paid for medical costs caused by an uninsured motorist for which you have coverage shouldn't they be reimbursed. I suppose you think it's a better idea for you to collect twice for the same charges and keep one of them. Not going to happen. All health insurance plans have a clause that states subrogation rates for other coverage will be deemed reimbursed from the auto claim. Sorry.

What does stacked uninsured motorist coverage mean and will it get your car fixed by insurance?
"Stacked" refers to uninsured motorist coverage, not to liability or physical damage coverage. In essence, if there are two cars in a household, both with insured motorist coverage, the uninsured motorist limits of the cars can be "stacked"--added together. Naturally, this will only make a difference if the severity of the injury and the clarity of the liability is such as to warrant that size of a payment to the insured. Keep in mind that the assessment of damages by an insurer in an uninsured motorist claim is similar to that done by a liability insurer in a third-party claim. Note also that some states have "anti-stacking" statutes which prohibit the stacking of ininsured motorist limits.
